What are the dual degrees courses like at IIIT-Allahabad?

IIIT began its dual degree programs in 2013 which looked like B.Tech + M.Tech Dual Degree in I.T with specialization in Robotics and Software Engineering. Forwarding to the next year, an addition was made to these courses, and a couple of more programs were added.

For your convenience I am listing a few of them in detail so that you can get an idea of the structure:

• B.Tech (IT) - MTech (IT) with specializations in:
  • Software Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Intelligent Systems
  • Bioinformatics
• B.Tech (ECE) - MTech (ECE) with specialization in Microelectronics and Biomedical Engineering
• B.Tech (IT) - MBA (IT)
• B.Tech (ECE) - MBA (IT)

After completing the 5-year dual-degree program, you will be awarded the B.Tech. + M.Tech./MBA degree. you will find that the first 6 semesters are the same as the B.Tech. (IT)/B.Tech. (ECE) program and the rest have elements of a PG program.

If you go for a lateral entry into the PG (M.Tech. (IT)/ M.Tech. (ECE)/MBA) program then you will get elective courses in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th semesters. You may be allowed to change your specialization after the 1st semester, considering your academic performance.

Other such programs include Microelectronics, Biomedical Engineering, MBA in IT, and others. There are good internship and placement opportunities available if you choose the 5-year program. You will work on two small projects, 2 major projects and will have TO submit an M.Tech thesis. In addition to these, in your 3rd year, you can either take up industrial training or a research project under a professor at IIIT A or any other University of your choice. In your fourth year, you will be allowed to sit for placements.
